Upcycle Academy

Learn to take something existing and make it into something totally new in this exciting, beginner-friendly class.  We will learn how to hand sew, operate a sewing machine, safely deconstruct existing fabric-based items, and turn them into a new garment, accessory, and so much more.  No sewing experience?  No problem.  We will cover everything.

Sewing machines and most supplies included.  We do ask that you bring a used oversized t-shirt to the first class.

Fall Session 2: ages 12-17, meets Wednesdays from 5-6pm, October 7- November 25 (8 weeks)
